<h1>Contact Details</h1>
It is possible to configure exactly which contact details Velocityme
stores and how they are displayed. When editing any Contactable type
(Organisation, Department or Person) it is possible to fill in a value
for any of the defined contact details. However, when viewing any
Contactable type, only the values entered for that particular entity
will be displayed.<br>
<br>
Contact details serve two purposes. Firstly they provide information
for users of Velocityme who wish to find contact information about any
Contactable entity stored in the system. Secondly, they can be used for
automatically notifying an entity when they have been assigned
responsibility for a task.<br>
<h2>Viewing the available contact details</h2>
When connected to the Velocityme server, navigate to "/Root/System 
Configuration/Setup Contact Detail Types". This will bring up a table
of currently defined contact detail types in the main panel.<br>
<br>
The left column shows the "Value" of each contact detail type. This is
the system name associated with the entry (for example "Address",
"Address (Street)", "Address (Postal Code)").<br>
<br>
The middle column shows which notification mechanism has been assigned
to the contact detail type. If the mechanism is not Unsupported then
it is possible that the contactable can be sent notification using that
mechanism. Note that currently Email is the only supported notification
mechanism.<br>
<br>
The right column has a check box indicating whether the value should be
shown or not. If the check box is cleared, then the label will not be 
shown when a contact detail of that type is displayed. For example, one 
may only want the "Address" label to be shown regardless of the number 
of lines of the address. In that case, the check box would be selected 
for the first line of the possible address entries, but not for any of 
the subsequent ones.<br>
<br>
Note that the order in which the contact details is displayed in this
table corresponds to the order that they will be displayed under any
Contactable entity.<br>
<br>
If you have permission to edit the contact types, then the Edit button
will be enabled.<br>
<h2>Editing contact details</h2>
If you select the Edit button then the OK and Cancel buttons will be
activated and the table will become editable.<br>
<br>
The Value cells can be edited by selecting the cell and typing in new
details. The notification mechanism is selected using a combobox. The 
Show check boxes can be toggled using the mouse.<br>
<br>
Each row in the table being edited contains Insert, Delete and Move Up
buttons. Insert will create a new row at the current location. Delete 
will remove the current row and Move Up will move the current row up one
as long as it is not already at the top.<br>
